Unleash Your Spiritual Super Powers

with Aimee Ward and Garnet Griebel 

This retreat will provide you with an array of practical spiritual tools that will dramatically support your ability to live your highest and purest expression as an Infinite Being. You will tap into the Source of Creation to tune into your Higher Self and illuminate the path towards your greatest manifestations. Come prepared to have breakthroughs and epiphanies, understand your divine worth, meet your Spirit Guides and see everyday life from a heightened perspective.

• Create personal awareness with how your body, brain, emotions, words, and Spirit can be activated to manifest the highest version of our reality
• Use crystal energetics, spirit guide activation, psychic awareness, and energy field dynamics
• Meditation and journaling will assist you to connect deeper

Aimee Ward is an intuitive and clairvoyant energy healer who works directly with Spirit to create personalized and effective healing protocols. Her tools range from working with guides and angels to using oracle cards, Pranic healing techniques, crystal programming and more.

She began her study of the esoteric arts at the age of 15 after experiencing a deep connection to the spirit realm during her childhood years attending church. It was there that she first met her spirit guides. In 2016, after taking an immersive Lightworker Training Course with Portland based lightworker Tatiana Sakurai, she began practicing and sharing energy healing, using aspects of Pranic Healing and Light Work. Working with clients, as well as a continued self-practice, has led her to creating the intuitive system she now uses. She is continually building her spiritual tool box to help herself and others peel back the layers, unfolding onto higher planes together with grace and joy. 

Garnet Griebel is a Reiki certified crystal energy healer and jewelry designer.  She has been working with stones through making jewelry for over 20 years and has been immersing herself in the energy healing properties of gemstones for the past 6 years.  Garnet is passionate about awakening, empowering and uplifting people to heal themselves by giving them the metaphysical knowledge, tools of ascension and confidence they need to go forth on their individual healing journey.

She has developed her own unique style of energy work, which combines gemstone chakra alignment followed by gemstone therapy, Reiki and talk therapy. Garnet has treated numerous clients using crystal energy healing while continually growing her healing and teaching services. “The great healer lies within us all, so as a teacher, I aim to empower and uplift people to heal themselves by giving them the metaphysical knowledge, tools of ascension and confidence they need to go forth on their individual healing journey.”

Nature/Nurture:

A Playful Summer Movement Retreat and Campout

with Monicka Koneski and Britt Rhoden

Join Monicka and Britt for this sweet little summer gem of a retreat, where you’ll have an opportunity to move in a variety of ways while enjoying the beauty of the Pacific NW Coast! Both of these yoga and movement teachers share a dedication to smart and functional movement while offering you a chance to reconnect with yourself through yoga asana, somatic movement, meditation, playfulness and time in nature.

• Four classes are offered that are full of fluid, mindful, intuitive movement
• Lots of time to dive deep into your inner body space
• Explore fun and creative ways to increase range of motion and cultivate strength in your practice

Monicka has been teaching movement since 1999. She has had the honor of being a part of The Bhaktishop Yoga Center since its inception, and under the gentle and encouraging guidance of Lisa Mae Osborn and Hari-bhakti dasi, as well as a number of other inspired and influential teachers, she has completed more than 500+ hours of yoga education and training. When not teaching or studying yoga, Monicka is either engaged in her work as a licensed massage therapist where she is able to spend valuable one-on-one time with those who are looking to find ease, presence, and balance in their bodies, or wrapped in love and life lessons with her dear little son, Kavi. It is Monicka’s goal as a bodywork practitioner, anatomy and kinesiology geek, yoga teacher, Mama, and student of bhakti yoga to serve and honor each individual that she encounters, whether on the mat or off, in the best and truest way that she knows how. “Movement is still endlessly fascinating to me, but it is truly the connection to Self and Source that we may encounter while engaged in yoga practices that has me hooked.”

Britt’s yoga journey started at age 17. As her body and soul changed and shifted with the ebbs and flows of life’s tides, yoga was the compass that gently guided her into new territory. Now, more than ever before, yoga is the way she shows respect for the beauty of life and the energy of the earth. Yoga is where Britt plays and explores; it’s where she finds a sense of being grounded and a sense of stillness. Britt seeks to meet all students with authenticity, giving them space to explore their own practice. She is a class of 2015 graduate of The Bhaktishop’s 200 Hour Program.

BEGINS: Sunday at 5:30pm

ENDS: Tuesday at 11am
